The quality of sound when playing my flash file on the timeline in flash CS4 is excellent, however when I go to test movie the sounds quality becomes awful, like its being played in a tunnel on terrible speakers, my sound files are .wav files, am I missing a process I must do to ensure the quality of sound is carried through to the final published animation?

View 9 RepliesI have designed a Flash animation for a client who has asked me to also provide it in a format which can be used in a film he wants to produce in Apple Final Cut Pro. I assumed the best format would be QuickTime but whenever I export the Flash file in to QuickTime the quality of the film is awful - the graphics leave fragments of themselves behind as they move (if that makes sense?!) and the overall quality isn't very crisp.
View 2 RepliesWhen I press command + option + enter, the graphics looks very good but when I look at the quick time mov I saved, its so bad. It's fine if I 'drag' the quick time window to the smallest but when I look at it in full screen mode, the picture is so bad... What can I do to improve the quality?
View 2 RepliesI am developing a simple application using flex which records a video with my webcam and stores it to the media server and then i pull it in order to show it.The problem is that the quality of the video played is blurry while it is displayed with the same size as captured. I have played a lot with the values in the functionsbelow where i attach my cam to the netstream objec: cam.setMode(640, 480, 25);cam.setQuality(0,90);and the result is an flv video which i play later on but with not a good quality. The server is on my pc so i dont have transfer delays because of low connection. Whatcan i do to have a better output? i use netstream play method to play the video and i do the following
video = new Video(640,480);
video.attachNetStream(ns);
video.smoothing=true;

So I exported a preview of my animation but the sound isn't high quality. How can I make it better quality? It doesn't sound like when I press Enter in Flash CS5.

View 2 RepliesAfter I imported a .mp3 or .wav in Flash, and I check the sound in the library, the quality of the sound has decreased. Why does an import effect a sound, and how do I solve this? (PS: I do not mean that the sound-quality decreases after publishing, I know I can change the settings)
View 1 RepliesSo I have a 5 minute animation that has narration to explain what is going on. First I ran into synching problems when I had the sound as an external file. Today I found a tutorial that had me import the mp3 file into the library, put it on its own layer and put the synch setting in properties to "stream". Now when I play the movie in flash the audio still sounds normal but when I test or publish the movie the sound quality goes so far down it's intolerable. She sounds like Yosemite Sam with all the Suffering Suckatash. This is pretty urgent, my graduation next week pretty much depends on this project.

View 5 RepliesI have an AS3 video player I've put together using fairly standard Netstream method and it plays my flv's fine. The problem is, the sound quality varies wildly depending on who is looking at it. When I test locally, the audio in the video is fine, but on a windows machine it goes horrifically loud to the point of distortion, also the client (outside the UK) has said it sounds fine to them, so It appears to be only happening here.
View 2 RepliesWhen publishing a project from Camtasia Studio 7, the params list includes a setting for quality. But instead of the usual "high" value, it sets it to "best". I Google'd and searched these forums but had no luck finding any definitive explanation if these two settings are equivalent. Can anybody enlighten? This topic also spurred another question, does the quality default to the highest value if the parameter value is invalid?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a flex application. The application occupies 100% of the browser screen, but it is slow to load. How should I improve the performance, what are the best techniques one should follow for improving the performance of a flex App. I did try some stuff though, I am not using relative layout instead i am using absolute layout and putting the buttons/images etc at exact places in a Canvas, still i feel it is slow. Can I profile the App or flex code to see where exactly the app is taking the maximum time to execute.
View 3 RepliesI'm playing around with Flash CS4 trial and tried to 'compose' a 3d Box by putting 6 MovieClips as the side elements of the box in one clip which represents the whole box. (only using the Flash Tools, no Actionscript). Within the BoxClip (after doubleclick on the BoxClip on stage), all sides look right, each side is positioned with the correct angles and coordinates. Outside the BoxClip, back on root stage, the box sides are not parallel anymore, the angles are not 90 degrees, there is no 'box' actually. So I guess, one of the problems is the 3D Center point of the objects which is absolute to one point in coordinate space. The other problem is the faulty '3D' display in Flash, that is, changing from inside to ouside a clip changes the view also. So far, the Flash GUI seems quite useless for doing some '3D'. How to improve the workflow?

I am using Helvetica Neue 43 Light and it looks great as Dynamic Text without embedding the fonts. It is nice and bright, sharp edging, etc.
I notice though, that on other computers, the Helvetica Neue font is displayed as Times. I am presuming because these other computers do not have Helvetica Neue installed on their computer system.
If I embed the fonts, it looks the same as static text or text that I have broken apart. The fonts are thicker and has blurry edges.
Is there any way of getting around this and have my Helvetica Neue looking sharp and crispy like dynamic text without embedding the fonts.
I am using the Open source PurePDF library in my Flex AIR application. The problem is performance:It takes 100% CPU usage and too long to generate a PDF.
I have done some analysis on it and find that the text writing in pdf is expensive. That's why I need to know how I can improve the performance. Are there any fonts for which pdf generation is less expensive, or is there some setting or tip that can make this process somewhat better in terms of performance? secondly in case of images the ImageElement generation is very expensive when writing that element to PDF. Is there any way to reduce the processing?
I found a way to reduce the ImageElement generation processing by resizing the image using flex and by then passing the small image's bitmap data to the image element. It works fine, and i have reduced the time of execution to a good extent. is there any way to tell PDF to work in chunks or divide the work in such a way that it may take more time to complete but won't block the GUI while the PDF is being generated?
Been reading up on the flash transition object. I came up with this way of fading out one clip and fading in another and having them loop forever using the transition objects but it's very dirty coding and not very flexible.
Is there a way to clean it up so that I can add as many clips as I want without having to write more code, just by adding more movie clips to the stage?

View 1 RepliesI have a code, that draws a horizontal line, then it turns into a slope, and at the end of the slope it draws a circle. Here's a code:
Code:
var xspeed:Number = 1; // defines increments for x of slope
var yspeed:Number = 2; // defines increments for y of slope
var hspeed:Number = 5; // horizontal line increments
[code]....
Create document 800x700 and put this code into main timeline. Now test movie As you can see, everything works great. But there is a problem. The circle is being drawn at 0 degree angle. But I want the circle to match the angle of the slope, so it looks like the slope and the circle are both at the same angle.
I have a program that is decently complicated in one area and the rest is simple. The complicated stuff is data crunching, pretty much. Would I get an increased performance by doing the data crunching in a second app and just having it send the couple bits of info I want from it to my other app that would be the front end of the program? Or is this a dumb idea? I know air doesn't by default multi thread, so I was just trying to think of a "work around."

View 3 RepliesI am a bit new to using blitting for graphics. But I have worked up a few demos myself, and I have been reading a lot of information on the methods used. One common theme I have been seeing though is that all of them brute force rendering; drawing the farthest back object first and stepping through all other objects. even drawing objects that are going to be completely overlapped. The reason all of them say this is that any kind of testing to see what should be drawn actually takes more time than just drawing everything with no checks. Is there any kind of way to detect what should be drawn, that will run faster than just drawing everything?
View 1 RepliesAm currently working on a tool created by a colleague of mine and would like to improve performance. Basically, it's a tool for drawing on screen and uses a combination of Sprites and the Graphics class to draw a line segment every time the mouse is moved when the mouse button is down. Here is the drawing bit:
// on MouseMove
protected function drawLine(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (currentTool.thickness > 0){
//pen
var line:Sprite = new Sprite();
line.graphics.lineStyle(currentTool.thickness, currentColour);
[Code] .....
As you can see, it checks if the line 'thickness' property and draws if it is and erases if it isn't. I did think of using a technique similar to blotting here where it'd draw to a bitmap but I'm not sure this'd give the performance boost I want or if, indeed, there would be any way to have an eraser function. The drawing itself works nicely - this isn't the problem, it's the performance of the subsequent 'drawn' sprites.
How to improve the space between Flex Checkbox and it's label ?
View 1 RepliesBackground: I am using SQLite database in my flex application. Size of the database is 4 MB and have 5 tables which are
table 1 have 2500 records
table 2 have 8700 records
table 3 have 3000 records
table 4 have 5000 records
table 5 have 2000 records.
Problem: Whenever I run a select query on any table, it takes around (approx 50 seconds) to fetch data from database tables. This has made the application quite slow and unresponsive while it fetches the data from the table.
How can i improve the performance of the SQLite database so that the time taken to fetch the data from the tables is reduced?
